What we did over our weekend vacation...

O.K. it was just a normal weekend, but we had fun!! We went to my brothers cabin in Palisades!! They have been working on it for a couple months now and it is really looking good!! We first helped them set up six sets of bunk beds... Then the fun really started... (of course for Toby building the bunk beds was the fun part!!... like I said he loves all the excitement!!)

Right behind the cabin is this really steep hill... and the kids were diving down it- no sled- and sometimes head first.... We have some real geniuses... but they loved it!!
Here's how it went-

Make the steep hike to the top...

Look down with fear...

Get Ready...

Dive... (that snow cloud is Zoey!)
CRY!! O.K. so not everyone cried... but trust me they should have!! It looked more out-of-control & crazy than fun. But it was really fun to watch!! Once they knocked all the sense out of themselves they decided that it would be really cool to get the big plastic bags from off the mattresses (12- two for each bunkbed) and slide down in/on them. They were flying before... but with the bags they had a death wish!! Again it was hilarious to watch!!
( Notice the bag being hiked up the hill in the background!) Through all this craziness Jayce and Maddox watched from inside as the big kids were doing their death defying tricks!! So all in all we had good food, fun, and only some minor injuries... We hope to go back soon!!

It takes me back to the good times at Badger Creek. Maybe Zoey should come up and try our hill. We haven't actually tried it this year, but I think there is plenty of snow.

Dear aunt Becky and uncle Toby,

You should go down the hill with us next time, it was a blast! I didn't slide down with the bags. Because After watching the other kids I didn't want to die.
